Asus P8P67 Pro
Intel Core i5-2500K
XFX Radeon HD 6850 1GB
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
2x Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB in RAID 0

Got all this for $588 total. I'll probably get a Corsair A50 CPU cooler before putting it together.

Don't forget to get a good PSU(I STRONGLY recommend Corsair,Seasonic or Antec.),a CD/DVD drive/burner,a great and big case and make sure to get the Spinpoint F3R(That are RAID compatible)and not the standard F3.

You could also get the Ripjaws X instead of the Sniper if you want to save a little money.

Yeah, I actually already purchased a PSU with the rest of my build. I just didn't list it because I didn't think it was worth noting as far as dolphin performance. I got the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 for $100.

Also, I decided on the the Sniper RAM because I got it $20 off on newegg which made it $10 cheaper than the Ripjaw X.

Oh,cool.
Also,did you make sure you bought two F3Rs and a DVD drive?(Two very important things)

I have everything I need, however I bought regular F3s. Is there a huge difference? I hadn't even heard about the F3R until you mentioned it in your post. I was recommended the F3 for RAID over the WD Caviar Black. Is there a significant difference between F3R and F3? Is it really worth the extra 50 dollars?

Oh,lol.
Sorry,i thought it worked like where only the F3Rs were RAID compatible,but it seems the F3s work in RAID too. : p

So I bought the Corsair A50 CPU cooler and after a week I am already annoyed with it. It works well and keeps my temps low, but it only has a 3 pin connector so it is blowing full speed continually. Its loud, most of the time I am just web browsing and stuff. I don't need it at full blast all the time. could anyone recommend a quieter cooler?

Well,i have the A70 and it's loud at times(When booting up the PC for example)but otherwise it's pretty quiet.

@7heBoss

Just use a fan speed controller. They cost like $5-10 and work with 3 pin devices (they just change the voltage).
